Note: The following printer, bookseller, or publisher lists are works in progress. They are generated from title page imprints and may reproduce false and misleading attributions or contain errors.

What does "printed by" mean? How to read the roles ascribed to people in the imprints.

In terms of the book trades, the lists below are sorted into up to four groups where: the person is designated in the imprint as having a single role:

  1. "printed by x"; or
  2. "sold by x"; or
  3. "printed for x" or "published by x";

or as having the seller and printer roles in combination, or an absence of the printer's name following "London: printed:" or "London: printed,":

  1. "printed and sold by x"; or "printed for and sold by x"; or "printed by and for x"; or "printed: and sold by x"; or "printed, and sold by x";  and so on.

On this last point, trade publishers may seem to have "printed" or "published" the work, though they did not own the copyright. The lists below reflect only the information on the imprint, except where ESTC provides extra information.

  • Phaedrus. The five books of the Æsopian fables of Phædrus, Augustus Cæsar's freedman, with A numerical key adjoining to each line, directing to take the words in construing in a proper order: and also the notes of Peter Danet, for the use of the Dauphin, translated into English. To which are added, a copious parsing index, containing every word in the fables, with their proper English; and a grammatical praxis on them, referring to the rules of grammar. By the assistance of which, young scholars, of but a very slender acquaintance with the rules of grammar, may be enabled of themselves, with ease and pleasure, and without interruption to the teacher, to learn their lessons in Phædrus.
